The National Guard Educational Foundation (NGEF), located in Washington, DC, was established in 1975 with the mission to educate the public and foster awareness about the contributions of the National Guard of the United States. In short, we tell the Guard�s story. As the educational element of the National Guard Association of the United States (NGAUS), the Foundation achieves its mission through a portfolio that includes the National Guard Memorial Museum and the National Guard Memorial Library in Washington, DC; The Guard Muster, a permanent register of Guard men and women, preserving individual legacies of service; and educational programs, forums and seminars for students and the general public.
